Case Studies

Kerry Price - Laser Hair Removal Case Study

When Kerry Price won the Miss Birmingham title, she knew she had to up her beauty regime to be picture perfect at all times.

After years of trying every hair removal method available from salons and at home methods such as waxing and shaving, Kerry decided she wanted a permanent solution and opted for Laser Hair Removal with us.

During her initial consultation with us, she explained that she was tired of constantly dealing with the side effects of home hair removal - the rashes, the shaving bumps, the dry skin and most of all the repetitiveness of do-it-yourself hair removal.

Kerry explains:

I was over the moon to have won the Miss Birmingham competition and felt really proud to be representing my home city. I knew this title meant charity work, personal appearances and more importantly, plenty of photo opportunities, so it was so important I looked photo-ready at all times.

One aspect of my beauty regime which I always hated was shaving. I'm sure most girls can appreciate that between the shaving bumps, stubble rash, shadow and dry skin, the most annoying thing about shaving is the fact you have to do it so often to keep really smooth skin. I had tried other beauty methods like waxing and hair removal creams. I actually trained as beauty therapist for a few years and used to do a lot of waxing just to keep that baby soft skin feeling. Maybe it was the initial training stages where we'd practice waxing on each other which gave me a baptism of fire to the experience, but I never got used to the feeling of having my hair ripped out! I had considered using laser for about 2 years and committed myself to researching the best treatments for about a month. I came across the Soprano at the MediZen clinic. As well as the professionalism of the girls at the clinic, the painless patch test really impressed me and cemented my decision to go with the Soprano treatment.

I knew what to expect from the patch test, but I was still a little bit nervous on the day of my first treatment on my bikini line. The treatment was completely pain free; it just felt like a warm massage and actually made me feel really relaxed. The therapist chatted to me throughout my treatment and asked me to let her know if it was getting too hot, so I felt very at ease with the whole thing. Between treatments I noticed the re-growth was sparse and the hair became much finer.

After about 5 treatments the hair had disappeared. I am now midway through getting my underarms lasered and I can't describe how much easier this has made my beauty regime. The Soprano has simply taken the ouch out of hair removal. What's more, it makes things like beach holidays a breeze as I don't have to faff around with waxing or appointments and don't need to worry about three day stubble from shaving.

Since becoming Miss Birmingham, I've had some wonderful opportunities including writing my own beauty column for my local newspaper and from a professional point of view, I couldn't recommend the staff at MediZen and the Soprano enough to anyone looking to get rid of unwanted hair. Some people think laser is a bit pricey but it is so worth the money once you factor in the constant hassle of shaving and cost of hair removal over a lifetime!

Dani - Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is one of our most popular treatments here at MediZen and we get men and women from all over the Midlands coming to us for treatment.

Dani is one of our clients who came to us for Laser hair removal and was thrilled with her results. She wanted to share with our other clients why she decided to get hair removal treatment with us and actually approached us to see if we could use her story!

I am not the type of girl to worry too much about her appearance - I'm not into reading beauty magazines and I can honestly say I'd never really thought twice about visiting a cosmetic clinic until a year or so ago.

I have always found shaving a hassle. I've always found the routine tedious and always had to double check if I had a few spare razors when I went off travelling, but apart from waxing (ouch!) or depilatory creams (do they actually work for anybody?!) I didn't know there was any other way. Shaving seemed to keep the hairs at bay for a few days so I stuck with it and resigned myself to thinking; 'I guess this will have to do'.

About a year ago I stumbled across an article someone had shared on Facebook about the cost of shaving - it was actually a blog written by MediZen that stated that the average woman spent around £20,000 on average shaving her legs over a time period of around 49 years - that's around 170 days shaving your legs over a lifetime - eek! I decided there and then that I would look into other options and discovered laser hair removal.

I was cautious at first, hence why it took me about a year from reading the article to actually coming to MediZen for treatment, and making the decision to physically come into a cosmetic clinic and get treatment was a bit scary so I did my homework thoroughly. MediZen have a great guide to laser hair removal which I downloaded for free and they have practical tips about what a person should look for when thinking about investing in the treatment. I researched costs and the practicalities of what was involved, I watched videos explaining the treatment and also read through independent reviews of both the clinic and the treatment.

I learned that MediZen are considered the premier laser hair removal clinic in the Midlands and their clients, awards and money invested into staff training and their equipment was unmatched. I was impressed with what I had learnt and the fact that they also had an easy payment method for laser hair removal packages made me pick up the phone. After I had decided it was the right treatment for me and that I would give it a go I have never looked back, from the first phone call to book in for my patch test and consultation the girls took fantastic care of me. Lucy, my practitioner fully explained the treatment and what was going to happen and really put me at ease as she explained how she herself had also had treatment.

The treatment itself was absolutely painfree and I couldn't help wondering why I had been so nervous beforehand! The feeling of the laser on your skin is something like a deep tissue massage, it was a warm sensation and quite pleasant.

As soon as Lucy had finished the treatment I jumped up to try and see the difference it had made - Lucy then explained what would happen next and that the effect would be seen after about 2 weeks. After about a week and a half I did my usual shaving routine (diligently once every 2-3 days) and noticed the hair was slower to grow back, in fact I couldn't see signs of regrowth for about 6-7 days. I was over the moon at that point and as I have progressed through my package the results have only continued to improve.

I honestly can't recommend the treatment and MediZen enough!!

Lucy who does my treatments was and is very supportive and takes a real interest. Very good and professional but also personal to me.
Julie, West Midlands

I am over the moon with my Laser Hair Removal from MediZen! I was so nervous beforehand and I thought it was going to be painful but Lucy really put me at ease during my consultation and patch test. I was so pleasantly surprised that it was virtually painfree and actually felt like a deep tissue massage! I can already see hair reduction and I can't wait to finish my course and show my legs off on holiday this summer! Highly recommend this treatment - no more time consuming shaving or waxing, brilliant!

The laser hair removal treatment I've had was brilliant! It was slightly uncomfortable at times but Nia made it as comfortable as possible by using cool air and cooling gel which was great and now I no longer need to shave my legs or underarms! I would recommend it to everyone!
Liz, Sutton Coldfield

I have been very self conscious about my hair and it took a lot of courage to seek help.

Shaving is down from twice a day to once or twice a month, brilliant, thank you MediZen.

I was quite apprehensive before commencing hair removal treatment. However, the staff answered all of my queries. The results I was very pleased with and I feel speak for themselves.

I have found the time I have spent at MediZen very worthwhile. After years of shaving, waxing and using creams to remove unwanted hair, it has been a relief to go on holiday without having to worry about what to wear, and how I look. Medizen has been by far the best clinic I have attended. They are professional, approachable and offer good service.
Deborah Burke, Sutton Coldfield

Having the laser hair removal treatment has given me the confidence to wear t-shirts again and show of my fresh, cleanly shaved neck. Sarah and the MediZen team were fantastic from consultation through to treatment, putting my mind at ease throughout. I really recommend the treatment and MediZen to family and friends for excellent service and results.

Noticed vast improvement on my underarms after first session. Very quick, virtually pain free with no discomfort whatsoever after. Any regrowth, if any, is very minimal and fine.

Laser hair removal on my underarms and bikini line has been absolutely fantastic, what a result. It sounds silly but the results have been life changing!
